His Electoral Highness the Duke of Brandenbourgh's Answer, to his Royal Highness the Duke of Savoy.

YOUR Royal Highnesses Letters of the 7th of July, brought to us by a Courier, have informed us with the surprising News of your separate Peace with the most Christian King. The League into which your Royal Highness did en∣ter with the Emperor, the Empire, with the Kings, Electors and Princes, Confederated in this present War; and which your Royal Highness not many Months ago, has by a solemn Act given fresh pro∣mises of observing most exactly; together with the liberal Supplies of Men and Money, where∣with your Royal Highness has been abundantly furnished, did not permit us to have the least Su∣spicion, that your Royal Highness could resolve, or even so much as think of abandoning so advan∣tagious a League, by which we labour to secure the Safety, Liberty, and Tranquility of Europe; and that too, without being reduced to it by any fresh Necessity or extraordinary Disaster; but only on the single reason alledged in your Royal Highnes∣ses Letter, that is, That you may embrace the ad∣vantagious Offers made you by France, which in∣deed are specious, and suited to take with your Royal Highness: But we question very much, whe∣ther you will find that Safety, Honour, and Ad∣vantages in them, which you would find in the Confederacy you were engaged in, if your Roy∣al Highness had continued in it. We wait never∣theless to hear the Opinion of the rest of the Con∣federates,

on this Resolution of your Royal High∣nesses; and in the mean time we have sent Or∣ders to our General de Varennes to bring home our Forces; not questioning in the least, but that though your Royal Highness has changed Sides, you will nevertheless allow our Troops what is due to them, according to the Treaties made with your Royal Highness. God grant, &c.
